All My Firsts Are You (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 23
Lee Ha Ru, you…….
Rrrrr. Rrrrr.
The chain of thoughts swelling wildly in my mind snapped abruptly.
At this hour, the only person who’d call me before I reached out was obvious—even without checking my phone. It had to be Secretary Yoon.
Right before leaving the hotel to meet Ha Ru, I’d specifically asked not to be disturbed unless something urgent came up today. So the fact that my phone was ringing now wasn’t exactly a good omen.
There must be an urgent issue—and if I ignored this call, the fallout would likely affect others, not just me.
“Ah, sorry. It’s a call I can’t avoid.”
I had no choice. As I stood up from my seat, I noticed Ha Ru’s shoulders slump slightly downward—as if she’d finally let out a breath she’d been holding. Without realizing it, a frown creased my face.
Why were you so tense? So cowed? The moment my gaze released you, you collapsed like someone who’d lost all their energy. What on earth is going on with you?
The loud ringing cut off any further questions. Reluctantly, I pressed the green button. A familiar voice spilled out from the now-unlocked phone.
[Director, I’m so sorry. You told me not to call today, yet here I am.]
For someone who’d boldly displayed her own name on my phone screen, her preamble was oddly long. But the moment I heard her voice, no explanation was necessary.
“That’s right. If your promise was this easily broken, you shouldn’t have made it at all. Now my mouth’s just sore for nothing.”
My tone was clearly sarcastic. Of course, Secretary Yoon must’ve had her reasons—reasons undoubtedly tied to my own responsibilities.
Still dragging my private emotions into work like this… I really wasn’t cut out to be a proper adult yet.

The Male lead Always Seduces Her with His Beauty (Matriarchy)
Xin Jiao Zhou is the leader of the world’s premier sect. She has just experienced betrayal from all sides, was poisoned in an assassination attempt, and faced death squad attacks while the poison was taking effect. After finally clearing out the scum from her sect, she was drugged again while trying to detoxify.
After waking up from a night of unconsciousness, she gained a “beautiful and kind-hearted” husband.
Xin Jiao Zhou: “???”
He fell ill.
She came to see him, bringing breakfast.
As she put down the breakfast and was about to leave, his hand slipped while holding the spoon. “Clank!”
She turned around upon hearing the noise.
He looked up at her, his eyebrows drooping: “My hand… has no strength.”
“Shall I… feed you?” she asked tentatively.
He opened his mouth cheerfully: “Ah—”
Thinking she was drowning, he jumped in without hesitation to save her, but nearly drowned himself. In the end, it was she who swam over to rescue him, giving him air underwater.
After emerging from the water, his ear tips turned red. He lightly brushed his cheek, tucking his sideburns behind his ear, revealing delicate, pink-tinged ear tips. He lowered his gaze, too embarrassed to look at her.
Xin Jiao Zhou: He’s truly beautiful, kind-hearted, and adorable.
A certain someone when disciplining subordinates behind the scenes: “If they don’t obey, just kill them.”
What’s that? She might already have someone she cares about in her heart? A certain someone: Find out who it is, kill them, and then there won’t be anyone.
What? She met a man by the riverside? What? That man even hurt her? A certain someone: Whichever hand hurt her, chop off his entire arm.
Love at first sight without realizing it, gradually falling in love, slowly getting closer…
Family and national grudges, schemes and desires, good and evil, crime and punishment, she and he face the future together, seeking justice with passion!
